THE LABRADOR DOG WALKER 🦮

Pet care experience

Welcome to Holly and The Dogs, the first breed exclusive dog walker, offering dog walking and sitting services in Winchester, Hampshire - for Labradors! Our aim is to focus on breed characteristics in fun, dynamic and enriching walks, ensuring we make the most out of every outing. Retrieving, swimming, scent work, and basic obedience with positive reinforcement training is practiced on every walk, whilst giving the dogs the chance to build and maintain friendships in a safe and controlled environment. As someone with deep understanding of the breed's unique traits, energy levels, and exercise requirements, our walks are equipped to provide the necessary care and attention that your Labrador needs to stay happy and healthy. Combining physical exercise with mental stimulation, it’s the perfect place for your Lab to be socialised with likeminded dogs in groups where each dogs’ play style and preferences are matched. With a choice between a weekday wander or adventure day, give your Labrador the walk they deserve.

Holly has been catsitting for us for many months now and she is always reliable, responsive, friendly and genuinely caring. We always get updates from Holly when we’re away and we come back even from our longest trips to find a happy and relaxed cat. I cannot recommend Holly enough!

Holly is amazing, very professional and reliable. She looks after our two cats every time we travel and house sat for us in the summer for a week. I highly recommend her services.

Holly recently looked after our 4 month old pug puppy. Not only was she great with him (taking him to meet other dogs) she also kept us informed everyday about what she and Oscar had been getting up to. So happy with what Holly did for us and our dog and will definitely be using her again and telling my friends about her great and professional service! Thanks again Holly!

Holly has cat-sit for me a number of times and has done a wonderful job of caring for my kitty whilst I’ve been away. She always texts you when she sits and sends you photos of an obviously happy cat whilst she is there. Great service and my cat loves her! Highly recommended.

✨ Group Walks Our aim is to focus on breed characteristics in fun, dynamic and enriching walks, ensuring we make the most out of every outing. Retrieving, swimming, scent work, and basic obedience and positive reinforcement training is practiced on every walk, whilst giving the dogs the chance to build and maintain friendships in a safe and controlled environment. Combining physical exercise with mental stimulation, it’s the perfect place for your pooch to be to socialised with likeminded dogs in groups where each dogs’ play style and preferences are matched. Our walks are structured so I can gain leadership and trust from all my dogs. Creating strong, healthy relationships with all of my dogs as individuals is paramount, where both individually and in a pack, they can flourish. Our group walks are a minimum of an hour and we spend the majority of our walks in the gorgeous Hampshire countryside, often by water for all our water obsessed pooches. ✨ Adventure Days Looking for more than your average walk? We organise fun, dynamic and enriching Adventure Days for your dog that will keep them coming back for more. Adventure Days also gives your dog the chance to socialise in a different perspective - each dog will experience wildlife, different terrains and be exposed to different smells, scents, whilst maintaining focus around humans and animals. ​ Adventure Days give your dog a fun packed day with like-minded dogs in the beautiful surroundings of the New Forest or one of our gorgeous Hampshire beaches. They will be collected in the morning and returned in the afternoon, happy and content and eagerly awaiting your return. ​Adventure Days are a minimum of three hours walking time and require a trial walk beforehand.

Information Holly S. would like to know about your pet

Any relevant behaviours of your dog. Due to the dynamic of my dog walks, I require all dogs to be sociable with other dogs and have good off lead behaviour and recall.

A typical day

We start our day picking up in our school bus, equipped with secretly fitted crates to ensure safe and comfortable travel for the dogs. A first aid kit and emergency details are left in the van for any emergencies. We enjoy our walks in gorgeous water spots in Hampshire, as well as the beautiful countryside. Dogs will be provided with fresh water and a towel on every walk, and will be dropped home sleepy, content and awaiting your return.

It's also important that we take into consideration any issues with joints - a common issue in Labs. ​ ✨ Building a Bond It's important for me to create a strong relationship and bond with all of my dogs over time, leading to greater trust between myself and your Labrador. This is essential so I can track their progress and flag up any issues that may occur.
